SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of presentation | ' |
Basis of presentation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |
Currency translation | ' |
Currency translation |
|
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Kuong U is the Hong Kong dollar. The functional currency of NUST is the Chinese Yuan ("RMB"). Revenue and expense accounts of our two subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at the average rates during the period, and balance sheet items are translated at year-end rates, except for equity accounts which are translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in current operations. |
|
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation. |
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements | ' |
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash | ' |
Cash |
|
The Company maintains cash with financial institutions both in the United States and the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The financial institutions in PRC are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any of these institutions holding the Company's cash become insolvent, or if the Company is unable to withdraw funds for any reason, the Company could lose the cash on deposit with that institution. |
Accounts Receivable | ' |
Accounts Receivable |
|
Accounts receivables represent customer accounts receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of current sales, historical charge-offs and specific accounts identified as high risk. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all reasonable efforts to collect the amounts due have been exhausted. Such allowances, if any, would be recorded in the period the impairment is identified. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts when amounts are not considered fully collectable. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $37,776 and $61,384 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Inventories | ' |
Inventories |
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the weighted average method, and net realizable value. Work in progress and finished goods are composed of direct material, direct labor and a portion of manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. The Company recorded inventory markdown allowance of $176,432 and $403,501 for the year 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Property and equipment | ' |
Property and equipment |
|
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Once placed in service, depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the related assets over their useful lives using the straight line method. |
|
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Replacements and major renewals are capitalized. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | ' |
Impairment of long-lived assets |
|
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. At the end of 2012, the Company determined that it could no longer justify recording the book value of the equipment at its carrying value and recorded an impairment charge of $3,755,416 on the book value of the equipment. |
Revenue recognition | ' |
Revenue recognition |
|
Revenue from product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectibility is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement and fixed price criteria are satisfied through purchase orders. Collectibility criterion is satisfied through credit approvals. Delivery criterion is satisfied when the products are shipped to a customer and title and risk of loss pass to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale. The Company has no obligation to accept the return of products sold other than for replacement of damaged products. Other than quantity price discounts negotiated with customers prior to billing and delivery (which are reflected as a reduction in sales), the Company does not offer any sales incentives or other rebate arrangements to customers. |
Research and development costs | ' |
Research and development costs |
|
Research and development costs are charged to expenses as incurred. The research and development costs were zero for both the fiscal years of 2013 and 2012. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. |
|
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. |
Income (loss) per common share | ' |
Income (loss) per common share |
|
Basic income (loss) per common share amounts is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share are calculated using weighted-average shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 there were no common stock equivalents outstanding. |
Comprehensive income (loss) | ' |
Comprehensive income (loss) |
|
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (loss) are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income (loss) and the foreign currency translation adjustment, net of tax. |
Fair value of financial instruments | ' |
Fair value of financial instruments |
|
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
|
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
|
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. |
|
There were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. |

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters, (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05), to resolve a diversity in accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment of foreign currency upon derecognition of a foreign subsidiary or group of assets. ASU 2013-05 requires the parent to apply the guidance in Subtopic 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. Further, ASU 2013-05 clarified that the parent should apply the guidance in subtopic 810-10 if there is a sale of an investment in a foreign entity, including both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2013-05 to have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. |

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)(ASU 2013-11). The amendments in this update provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2013-11 to have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. |
|
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
